The preblem is that device driver can have various demand.

It probably want to create different kind of buffers for different thing 
simultaneously.

Say, one allocated with dma_alloc_coherent for command buffer or dma 
descriptor

another one allocated with  dma_alloc_wc for uploading shader etc.

also has the third one allocated with dma_alloc_noncoherent() for doing 
some else.


Simple setting by DT or firmware which override all allocation is not 
what we want.

  My patch is toward the drm core, leave the choice to the device drivers.


How does the device driver fetch hardware descriptions is the device 
driver's thing.

either via DT, or ACPI, kernel cmd or hard-code.  Its device drivers policy.


My patch do not require the platform make the decision for the device 
driver.

Nor does it depend on DT. Your approaches are neither sufficient nor 
necessary.


It gives the freedom to the the device driver.

Device driver has full control over the buffer allocation.

For our hardware, It don't use DT on some application scene.

Out hardware is dma-coherent and cached coherent.

We don't want a dma-coherent buffer attached with the name of 
"map_noncoherent".
